Yes, but so what? I just mentioned that I dont get ANY errors with NComm
set at priority 0, and using standard serial.device using the same machine!

You cant get any less errors, than none! ;)

 KR> NComm only crashes if I play with too many features.

The only time I have had NComm (2) crash on me is 3/4 of the way through
receiving a 40MB file....Grrr.....;-)
